We spent 4 nights at Maungman beach, although it rained one full due to the monsoon, we had a great time being away from busy Yangon. Hello Dawei is a beautiful old colonial building where they serve delicious food! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They arranged our bus tickets and gave us a lot of advice for next time in Dawei. Highly recommended! We can´t wait to come back during high season and try the snorkelling!

Even a well travelled person should venture up to Golden Rock. The obligatory ride in the back of the government lorries was exhilarating, uncomfortable - yes, seated on a narrow bench, but the journey up the windy, mountain single track road was impressive. The conductor was collecting the fares whilst balanced on the outside ledge of the vehicle! There is a new cable car near the summit for a different approach. On arrival at the sacred site, I had not anticipated having to walk through a village barefoot. Remember to put your shoes in your bag and keep them with you. Those who could not walk the distance paid to be carried on a litter! We bought food at the many stalls. There were lots of families at the summit, sitting peacefully picnicking, sleeping, chatting, just whiling away the day together. The rock is very imposing and obviously very sacred for the pilgrims. Only men may touch it and add more gold leaf to it. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful and dramatic. The Buddhist pilgrims are very respectful, reverend and seemed to enjoy their time at the temple immensely. The whole day was very memorable, I would certainly return. I would not stay at a hotel there as they seemed basic, overpriced and remote. We took the relaxing train to Bago, explored the great sites there, hired a driver for the day, went to Golden Rock and then lots of places on the way back.

My family and I went to the Cocks Comb Island tour and it was incredible! First you visit Cocks Comb and swim through an opening to a beautiful snorkeling area. The snorkeling here is good, It was quiet the day we visited but I’ve heard it can be crowded here, and that has affected the coral. We were lucky because there were only 12 of us. After this you have a few more stops. The last stop being gorgeous Horse Shoe Island. This island is breathtaking, it has a fantastic overlook and you have a wonderful lunch with open bar. At the end of the day you get a buffet dinner back at the Grand Andaman Hotel. All in all, this was a wonderful tour perfectly orchestrated by this company. They quickly answered all emails. They handled all the transfers, arranged for our luggage to be held and then picked us up and dropped us at the hotel in Myanmar. Wonderful company to work with!
